Are they using differently in the sentence? Can I just use them exactly same occasion on the sentence? An Jiyoung Joined on Sat, Dec 17 2005 Korea Full Member 158

	An Jiyoung  +  333900 Tue, 27 Feb 07 10:45 PM Thank you for your answer. I didn't fully understand your answer or maybe my question was unclear. For example, Amercia, United States, and U.S.A. are all the name of one country. I am wondering if these names is used in the sentence differently or preference of usage..   An Jiyoung

	Grodada  +  333903 Tue, 27 Feb 07 10:53 PM Normally we should use the term America to refer to the continent and not only to hte United States of America. But very often The United States, the USA and America refer to the same entity. You must keep in mind that they all have a singular meaning (you would say "the USA is ...").   Grodada Joined on Fri, Nov 24 2006 New Member 19

Both Britain and England are sometimes used to refer to the nation, but you have to be careful of your usage. The Scots and the Welsh do not appreciate being regarded as part of England.
